Overview

In this scenario,technology has fundamentally changed the way children learn. Moreover, the educational system is highly regulated and monitored by the EU governments. All EU countries have to abide to the uniform standards and rigorous testing imposed by the governments. Students are competing against each other in terms of performance as "student rankings" are published even at a daily basis. Children become highly competitive and aggressive due to the pressure to perform not just well but also substantially better than their peers.

At the same time, the learning process is mainly taking place through the use of technological devices, such as tablets. Special applications have been developed to assist students in the learning process. Teachers are still well-respected figures in the classroom while the guide and assist children through the learning experience.
